Doctors in Yemen Warn of Possible Cholera Epidemic

A collapse of the healthcare system, destroyed hospitals, and unpaid salaries are a couple of the factors that Doctors Without Borders (MSF) say might be contributing to a possible cholera epidemic. In the last three weeks, MSF have treated more than 570 suspected cases of cholera.

Cholera is caused by fecal-contaminated water and food. It is easily treatable but can be fatal if not treated quickly.
